The Perfect Storm

Looking east
Looking west
Not usually one to post about the weather, but I must admit the way the sky looked on my block at sunset yesterday has brought out my inner Al Roker (yes, all of you who thought I was actually a bald, black man with glasses were right).

As you can see, the contrast between clear skies to the east, and the gathering, nuclear-glow looking storm to the west was quite spectacular. It was hard to tell whether to break out the deck chairs or the lead shields.

While the family and I were having dinner on our patio, it started to rain. Warm weather, crisp, fresh rain.

Not only the perfect storm. The perfect dessert.

Holy cow that orange sky is spectacular. I wrote about the storm last night, too. Funny. I guess we Southern Californians get easily excited when we have a little weather.

It was just so unexpected. That was the beauty of it.

who are your hippy neighbors with the "magic bus"?

Hey ya bastard, I don't know if you've met John & Mary across the street - I think you have. The Magic Bus belongs to one of John's brothers. Very cool ride.

Any blog post with a photo of that lovable Al Roker is a post I like. It's like throwing babies and puppies in ads. Everyone is gonna like that ad.
